CELINA GOVERNORS CUP REGATTA CANCELLED
It is with deep regret and frustration that Myron Buxton and Allen Baskett, Co-Chairs of the Celina Governors Cup Regatta Committee announced today that the 2010 Race has been cancelled.
“The continued deterioration of the water in and around our race course area has left us with no choice but to cancel our race in the interest of safety for our volunteers, the racers, and all the support personnel that it takes to conduct the Celina Governors Cup Regatta” says Baskett.
“Our committee has been working all year in preparation for this year’s event” says Buxton. “The racers and crews want to race, and our sponsors are supporting our efforts. It’s a shame that circumstances beyond of the control of our committee and their efforts have put us in the position of having to cancel this year’s event”.
